| I am in Torrance and working. My first day went pretty
well. Met some other interns, had safety training, got a free
lunch, and tried to get my office set up. Said hi to a lot of
people I'd met last year. My office, by some strange stroke of
luck, is super nice. It's big and has a window and a lot of extra
space.
Anyway, that's pretty much all that's worth mentioning.

| Posting every month or so whether I need to or not.
I had my first final today. I think it went okay. I've got
a take-home due tomorrow that's pretty much done and another final
Monday that I need to study a lot for. Still it's a pretty chill
finals week for me compared to my usual finals schedules which have
been pretty awful up to this point. I think I just want to be
done.

| I should update more often. I'm writing now because I have an exam this afternoon and should be studying.
Problem is, I don't really do anything noteworthy. Spring Break
was
fine. My mom spoiled me thoroughly and I relaxed a lot.
Since then,
I've been busy with school and stuff. I've been trying to get
more exercise and now I think I may be getting a suntan. I
preferred the pale thing but am too lazy for sunscreen. I
registered for
classes
yesterday and may still graduate in four years, which is always
good. 18 units and 6 courses, but I squished it all in.
Registration required visits to the dark territories of both Civil and
Petroleum Engineering, which was harrowing but I managed somehow.
In closing, I hate D-Clearance.
Also in closing, I love EVK and have more meals left than I thought. Just wanted to end on a cheerier note.

| EDIT: He's back and he's got a new trick.
Not much to report. I can't wait for Spring Break even though I
will just be going home for the week and not doing anything cool.
Housing is taken care of which is really good. Lydia found an
apartment a little bit west of campus and we signed the lease Friday so
now Lydia, Ashlyn, Emily (I think that she finally started using the
"y"--yay), and I have somewhere to live. As fun as spending my
senior year living in a refrigerator box would have been, I much prefer
this arrangement.
School hasn't been too bad this semester either. I have a paper
to edit that I'm dreading since the paper really sucks right now.
I also have a homework assignment due next week only the professor
seems to have neglected posting the assignment on Blackboard.
This makes it difficult to complete. Overall though, this has been a good semester academics-wise.
That's about it. There's really nothing else worth mentioning.

| So mopey recently. Very mood-swingy semester. Three weeks ago I was feeling great.
My mom sent me a t-shirt and a candy bar. The shirt was too small
and now I feel fat. I still ate the candy bar. Ugh.
I'm not going to write the almost requisite Valentine's Day post about
how I feel fulfilled because Jesus and my friends and family
love me. That's nice, but I really can't pull it off right
now. Anyway, I think that post has been getting played out.
I'd rather be
bitter and sullen. Which is probably the reason I don't
have a Valentine.
